[ANN] Full-chain membership proof review (by Cypher Stack)
Cypher Stack proposes to conduct a review of a set of proofs for use in a proposed Monero protocol update. The price for this work was agreed on at 198 XMR. This was approved at the meeting, but I would like both @kayabaNerve and jberman to approve via either comment or positive emoji here so relevant payouts can be conducted.
